Kasey Anderson is a force to be reckoned with. A fixture in the Pacific Northwest alt-country scene, there’s a reason why Jason Isbell and Counting Crows are fans. There’s a reason people stuck by him even after he was sentenced to 4 years in federal prison for a fake charity scam that was really a result of his undiagnosed bi-polar disorder. There’s a reason people are thrilled Kasey, and his new band, Hawks and Doves, will release their debut album, From a White Hotel, July 27 on Jullian Records. There is a reason why Glide magazine said “(From a White Hotel)” is the work of a revived man with a restored creative vision, surrounded by the people who helped revive and restore him.”

In spite of Kasey’s trips to rehab and prison, the reason most stuck around to see what happened is because his music is nothing but authentic. In 2016, with Kasey out of prison and doing well medically, Counting Crows front man Adam Duritz asked him to contribute to a forthcoming benefit album, FIERCE, to help a friend undergoing treatment for Stage 4 Cancer. At that point, Kasey didn’t have a band, so he contacted Jordan Richter, Ben Landsverk and Jesse Moffat to create a track. Hawks and Doves were born.

In the summer of 2017, Kasey had a grand mal seizure due to the lithium he’d been taking to control his bipolar disorder. While he could have died, the issue was corrected by changing his dosage and he found that after the seizure he was especially prolific. The tracks “The Dangerous Ones,” “Bulletproof Hearts (For Laura Jane),” and “From a White Hotel” were written during his recovery.

From a White Hotel was produced by Hawks and Doves and features guests Eric Ambel, Kurt Bloch, Ralph Carney, Kay Hanley, Dave Jorgensen, Andrew McKeag and others.  Limited edition signed and numbered LPs and CDs are now available from the Official Kasey Anderson Store.  The album is available for digital pre-order and pre-save through iTunes, Apple Music, and Spotify. All pre-orders include immediate download of "Bulletproof Hearts (for Laura Jane").

Pre-ordered items will be delivered no later than the release date, July 27.
